Request for Proposals from Students & Student Organizations

CENTERING THE ARTS AT DARTMOUTH

Overview

Through this Request for Proposals (RFP), the Dartmouth Centers Forum(DCF) and the Year of the Arts (YOA) Steering Committee wish to work in partnership with students to facilitate meaningful discussions about the power of the arts, especially the arts at Dartmouth, to advance the missions of our member centers. The DCF hopes that this goal can be achieved through panels, workshops, discussions, and performances that will enable all members of the community to consider how powerfully the arts affect our understanding of the world, its people and its problems. Proposal budgets should not exceed $4,000.

Background

The Dartmouth Centers Forum (DCF) and the Year of the Arts Steering Committeeinvite proposals for programming from students and student organizations that address the 2012–2013 theme, Centering the Arts at Dartmouth. The DCF is a collaborative alliance of 17 campus organizations that seek to promote an open dialogue on complex issues.

The DCF adopts the Centering the Arts at Dartmouth theme in concert with the President’s announcement designating the 2012-2013 academic year as the Year of the Arts at Dartmouthin celebration of the excellence and integration of the arts on campus.

The goals of this initiative are to spotlight:

  • The value and excellence of the arts at Dartmouth;
  • The breadth of arts intersections across campus;

  • To engage the entire student body in the arts at Dartmouth.
